cottony loaf and {Giveaway} A pair of tickets to Cooking & Baking class by The Domestic Goddess Wannabe!

It’s been a while – I took a break to update my cooking and baking skills but I’m back!

I have been obsessing a bit about bread recently, and I tried quite a few new recipes.

Today I am going to share this fabulous and very easy recipe for a loaf of super soft and fragrant bread!

I have made quite a few loaves of this bread and each time, the bread hadn’t lasted for longer than 20 minutes after I took it out of the oven. My mom, the LAM, our 2 kids and I behaved like we hadn’t had food for days.

It was literally, now you see bread… and now you don’t! 😀

I always believe that good things should be shared, so here’s how to make this yummy bread!

If you have a bread maker, you can use it to knead the bread. If not, you can always knead the dough by hand until it has reached windowpane stage.

Divide the dough into two equal parts.

Shape them into balls and place them on a tray that has been lightly greased. Spray the dough with a little water and cover with a piece of damp cloth and rest the dough for 15 minutes.

Roll each ball into a rough rectangle.

Roll into a log.

Return the dough into the tray. Cover with the damp cloth and rest for another 15 minutes.

Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out again.

Roll into a log and pinch the seams to seal.

Place the dough into a 20x10x10cm baking pan which has been lightly greased.

Spray with a little water then let the dough proof for about 50 minutes or until they have almost reached the rim of the baking pan. I usually place the dough in the oven at 35°C to proof.

Brush the dough with milk.

Bake at 170°C for 50 minutes. If the top of the bread gets too brown, place a piece of aluminium foil over it and continue baking.

Once the bread is done, turn it out onto a wire rack immediately and cool completely.

Slice and enjoy!

My dear readers,

Thank you for all your inquiries and encouragement! It is happening! I have officially started Cooking & Baking Classes! To commemorate this special milestone, I am giving away a pair of tickets to one reader for this event!

I always love the recipes you posted but what a pity ,l live in KL.if not I am sure to attend your cooking class anyway .Thank You very very much for sharing the recipes to us.i really like your cooking.

As a busy mum, I like to cook one-pot dish which minimises washng of pot and wok. I would like to learn how to prepare some one-pot pasta dishes. My kids are tired of my Spaghetti Bolognese using the off-the-shelf sauce.

Your blog got me really really tempted, with all the gorgeous food masterpiece, to try out baking! Finally got down to it and invested in getting an oven and mixer! Still a total amateur at this and would love to learn how to bake cakes and use the oven for preparing other kind of food as well! Hope to win the giveaway to figure how to know how to work with the mixtures when mixing.
